Niantic's new game
The new game takes place in a story where the creatures wake up in a new world completely unknown, after millions of years asleep. Thus, the objective of the players is to make them survive.
The small details, like taking care of the creatures and making them grow, are reminiscent of some Tamagotchi traits. With that, the little creatures need to unravel treasures.
A detail of the game that draws attention is that the creatures will be unique, that is, they are all different, as they are a combination of different traits. In addition, in Peridot creatures will never die and players will be rewarded every time they take care of their little creature again.
The new game will please fans of Pokémon Go and Pimkin Bloom, as they have very similar gameplay. It marks Niantic's return to the originals, as the company hasn't released a new game since 2012.
As it is still in the testing phase, only certain developers can play Peridot. Thus, it is expected that it will soon be released to the world public.
